BIOGRAPHY
There is a marriage record for Frances to Susan Ames in 1701,
according to the notes of Audrey Bailey. Audrey's records also state
that Frances moved to North Carolina around 1713.
According to [UL: Rowntree and Rountree Family History, :UL] "And in
the office of the Secretary of State, Raleigh, North Carolina, a will
is recorded from Francis Rountree II, who died in 1748. He married Ann
Summer and they had 14 children. The records show they paid rents on
lands in Ablemarle County, Virginia, to His Majesty from September 29,
1729, to June 12, 1735, on 172 acres. After his death most of the
family moved to Bertie County, North Carolina. Their children's names
were Moses, John, Jetro, William, Jesse, Frances III, Lewis, Jane,
Ann, Elizabeth, Christian, Sarah, Susanna and Rebecca."

Notes

RESEARCH
Wrote to JoAnne Turner 10 May 1996 to find out the title of the book
that gives a history of Shadrack which is included with her letter in
Turner file (pages 146-152).

He was the overseer of roads and the processioner of lands. In 1767,
he was listed as tithable in Pittsylvania Co., VA with his sons John
and Joshua (both being over 16 years old). Need more info on this.

From the undocumented Obion Co., KY source comes the following:
"Shadrack Turner gave material aid to the establishment of American
Independence and is listed in the Membership roster and Soldiers of
the Tennessee Society of the D.A.R." Need to look this up in fles.

Need to get a copy of Shadrack's will from Henry Co., VA. and DAR
papers.

Need to see [UL:Early VA Families:UL] by Ruth Pyrtle, pages 30-47?
(Need to see this book).

Need to see Box #1 folder #8 on Location List AC 77-220 in Georgia
State Archives. Folder is labeled Shadrack Turner Senior Family (of
Virginia) Documention. In it is a copy of a land grant issued to
Shadrack that is signed by Thomas Jefferson, Govenor of Virginia.
